You should apply to 3 “Reach Schools” – that is schools where based on your numeric profile and their numbers, you are not likely to be admitted, but there remains a chance. ...

feeling very pessimistic about this cycle. at first it felt so good to get into any school at all, and now I feel like I would regret settling for the rest of my life

@CondemnedPuffyGnome: I wouldn’t do anything I’d seriously regret unless I had to but it’s also important to be realistic about what you can do

@CondemnedPuffyGnome: May I ask which school(s) you would be settling for (settling for one of)?
